Food stamps are now used like a debit card. It’s still
humiliating for those who need them. The cashiers stare and act embarrassed
when they have to adjust the register after asking debit or credit. They often hear a person in line say,
“There’s where my taxes go, to feed that lazy person.”

I know one of those women who call the poor lazy in checkout
lines. She doesn’t work; she’s rich, yet she is on Medicaid.

I asked her once if she could afford her
health care on her own. She replied indigently, “It’s legal now to get it even
if you have millions in the bank. I don’t work. “ No shame for her; she can pay, but doesn’t
want to. She feels she deserves a handout from the government she doesn’t need.

Millionaires using
Medicaid is common now. Anyone under sixty- five with low or no income can get
Medicaid. There is no longer an asset test. You can have several million and
the bank and still get them.Try talking to someone rich if you can stomach it,
and you’ll find the same entitlement issues to benefits they don’t need and
judgment of the poor every single time.

I know a trust fund baby who tells people using food stamps
to get off their ass in checkout lines.
He grew up with serious money and has never worked a day in his life. He
got lucky; he didn’t work hard. He couldn’t even manage to graduate college, he
flunked out. He sees that inheritance as
something he deserved, is entitled to, and it makes him in his mind a better
person then the unemployed or working poor.
He believes that everyone who wants a job can have one. It’s simple, you
just ask for a job, he said, and everyone will have enough to eat without
picking my pocket for food stamps. The pockets his parents lined for him, that
is.

Unfortunately, what my simplistic rich friends don’t
understand is that employers no longer pay decent wages and rarely benefits.
Rents are sky high and have long been outpacing salaries. And yet the rich wonder
why the poor can’t get by, all the while helping themselves to benefits that
are not intended for them.

I’d like to say to
all the rich people abusing the system that I hope someday soon, taking those
Medicaid benefits you don’t need will become a criminal act again. And when you
are released from prison, I hope you will learn the humiliation of using food stamps
and be told to get off your ass by a hypocritical rich person taking benefits
designed for those less fortunate. I
also hope you become someone’s bitch in prison, but that’s another story.

In TheNew
York Timestoday there is an
article explaining how corporate scum get away with paying little to no tax.
They do it by shifting activities offshore and tax loop holes. There are a lot
of loop holes.

So my rant today is, why don't individuals have loop
holes? We have nothing, especially those of us on the lower end of the income
spectrum. So what can we do?

I, for one, am never paying taxes again. If billion
dollar corporations don't pay, why should I? There are many ways to do this.
Two that come to mind are work in cash, or if you have taxes taken out claim
the maximum amount of allowances so that you owe the US money at the end of the
year and are not waiting for a refund from Uncle Scam. Then use your own
"loopholes" to get it down to zero.

If the US wants to let corporations be tax free, if
they won't provide health care or really, anything, then
why would indivduals pay taxes? To subsidize corporations? Fuck that and corporate horse the IRS rode in on.

Let's forget all the stupid stuff
Trump and his merry band of evil doers have done for a moment. Let's look at
the father / daughter sicko relationship.

Melania the gold digging wife is holed up away from
the Orange Beast and costing taxpayers a half million dollars a day in added
security. I understand why she doesn't want to be with him, but it's too
expensive. The Trumps should bear that cost, not the taxpayers.

Even worse, his daughter is starting to do the job
Melania refuses to. Orange Beast treats the daughter like she's the first lady.
It's even more of an embarrassment to the country since he has come out
publicly and said he wants to date and sleep with her.

All insults aside, the man needs therapy. Ivanka needs to take time out from the hairdressers and botox sessions and get some too. It's bad enough that he's an idiot, but this is extra embarrassment and expense the country can't afford.

I hate the rich. Not because I covet what they have,
but because of their entitlement issues. Take Betsy Devos. Please take her
away. Her family is rich, so rich that they contributed over $200 million
dollars to the Republican Party over the years. That bought her a job offer she
doesn't deserve, Little Miss Betsy has been nominated to be Secretary of
Education.

Daddy died and his company was sold
for over a billion dollars. Then she married the son of the guy who co-founded
Amway. So she's not on food stamps. But all that money only got her into some
college named Carlin, which is a bullshit religious freak institution in
Michigan. Her rich father-in-law is also an alum.

Bernie Sanders asked her if she thought she would have
been appointed had her family not given that 9 figure gift to the Republican
party. She answered yes. And that is why I hate the rich.

No, Betsy, no. If your family wasn’t rich, and you
showed up with your bullshit religious freak Bachelor's degree from your barely
accredited school and asked for that job, no you wouldn't have gotten it.

Just as rich men who are fat and balding or orange
with a toupee can’t see that the twenty something aspiring model/porn stars
wouldn't be blowing them if they were poor.
Or the son of a CEO making six figures out of college at his dad’s
company. The rich need to get out of their delusional bubbles and realize they are
not only unworthy, they are despised.

99% of them would be nowhere without the family money. Betsy would be working at a McDonalds with
her academic credentials. I am asking the rich to do the world a favor. Stay
home and play with your toys or go shopping. But stop pretending you deserve
what you get. It was luck. Dumb luck, nothing more. Enjoy it while it lasts.

I stumbled across this blog today and I want to recommend it for any student loan holders. It's written by Attorney Adam Minsky. Excellent advice and tips for dealing with the student loan vultures. His experience from his blog:

Adam S. Minsky is one of the nation’s leading experts on student debt and is a pioneer in his field. He established the first law firm in Massachusetts devoted entirely to assisting student loan borrowers, and has since expanded his practice to include New York. He remains one of the only attorneys in the country with a practice focused exclusively in this field of law.
Here is the link to his blog: http://http://bostonstudentloanlawyer.com

Just in
case you ever wondered if there were any honest people working at law schools,
the answer is a big fat fucking NO. No, there are no honest workers at law
schools.

Listen to this tape of Charlotte Law
School’s assistant dean. Every time she says something so void of human decency
that your skin crawls, take a shot of your favorite alcoholic beverage. You’ll
be drunk in no time.

I watched
Sean Spicer’s press conference yesterday. At the beginning, it was amusing to
watch him dodge questions and spin his version of reality. It quickly turned to
horror and then a freakishly strong desire to rub dog shit on his face.

This guy
isn’t just a liar, he’s delusional and dangerous. He lies freely and without
impunity, a psychopath hell bent on getting others to believe his tall tales.
Spicer is obsessed with the size of Trump’s inauguration crowds, or rather, the
lack of a crowd. Even though there is
physical proof the crowds were significantly smaller than Obama’s, he insists
it’s all a lie and more people were there, the press is making it up.

This is
dangerous for two reasons. First, he’s proven he’s willing to lie even about something
insignificant. Second, he’s showing the
world we have a dishonest president and administration and we can’t be
trusted. He needs to go.

His wife
works for a beer company. Maybe she brings home too many samples and he’s drunk
all the time. Or maybe he’s just a lying psychopath who needs to find another
job so he can stop embarrassing the country.

I have
never once heard someone with a student loan say anything positive about their
provider, and for good reason. Turns out
they’re even worse than we thought and the word is getting out.

Last week the
Consumer Protection Bureau went after Navient for various slimy practices, most
notably for not bothering to mention that IBR is an option instead of
deferment. Why? Because explaining the
program and then completing the paperwork is too time consuming, and time is money. In addition,
they reported loans charged off for disability as defaulted, which ruined the
credit of thousands.

The article suggests that if you have been the
victim one of these scams, you should file your compliant with the CPB ASAP,
because the Orange Beast is going to move quickly to screw as many of the poor
as he can. Republicans want to get rid of the CPB. The bankers want more money,
and now that Goldman Sachs is running the government, don’t expect any breaks
any time soon

I wish I didn't have prescient abilities. I have predicted every market crash since 1987. I saw the law school fraud back in 2008. I knew Hillary would lose and the world would regret it.

I blame the press for this soon to be disaster. They didn't do their jobs during the election. They can't figure out how to take a poll. They no longer do research or investigative reporting, they just regurgitate and tweet.

Who broke the simple story of the law school scam? Not the press, it was a group of bloggers. If they aren't capable of the most basic research, how could they have been expected to expose the con man about to destroy the world?

I wish I was wrong. But the Orange Monster is about to start WWIII and the world is now on the train ride to hell. Think about it. Russia and China were the only countries happy he won.

It's not a coincidence that he waited until a week before he took office to have a press conference. He wanted everyone to forget the emperor has no clothes while there was still time to keep him out of the White House.

There are rumors the Orange Monster actually prefers yellow. Streams of yellow. How ironic, the world is about to get pissed on. Get out your umbrellas. Or just put a newspaper over your head.
